Ultrasound Therapy

Ultrasound Therapy

Ultrasound therapy is the use of sound waves to treat muscle, bone, and ligament conditions.

The sound waves cause vibrations which generate heat. When tissues in the body vibrate, friction is produced at a molecular level. This ultimately causes the temperature in the tissues to rise. One of the major advantages of ultrasound therapy is that it can penetrate deep into the tissues in ways that a hot pack can’t.
